• Modelled and observed sea-spray icing in Arctic-Norwegian waters 

      Samuelsen, Eirik Mikal; Edvardsen, Kåre; Graversen, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016-11-15)
      Hazardous marine icing is a major concern for ships operating in Arctic waters during freezing conditions. Sea spray generated by the interaction between a ship and ocean waves is the most important water source in these dangerous icing events. Although there exist several data sets with observations of ice accretion in conjunction with meteorological and oceanographic parameters, these data sets ...
    • Ship-icing prediction methods applied in operational weather forecasting 

      Samuelsen, Eirik Mikal (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-10-11)
      Sea-spray wetting of ships operating in cold environments imposes a great safety risk, due to icing. For this reason, marine-icing warnings have been a part of operational weather forecasting for the last five decades, yet verification of such warnings has only been done sparingly. This article evaluates different ship-icing methods applied in operational weather forecasting. The methods are tested ...
